THE SHIRT-TAIL FKjIIT. j
A STORY I'OR OKNTI.KMItV.
Said my grandfather one evening " A
ko'il fifty of us had been engaged fur seve
ral days iu performing; a secret duty, aud
were returning. Wo had to pai very neai
the British lines, and to avoid being taken,
ad also to save a wide circuit of miles, we
resolved to encamp in a secret place we .
anew of, through the. day, and under the'
shadows of niht, pass unseen on the direct
course to General Morgan's camp. .
" The day was beautiful, and the spot we 1
l sl chosen for our resting place was one
of those grassy nooks, shut out, apparently,
from the rest of the world by lines of hills,
impenetrable underbush, and a gigantic for
et. A small but clear and deep stream
rm by it, and the sun was at such an iticlina-;
tion as to throw half of tho little spot in the
made. We laid down our arms, relieved
ourilves of knapsacks, ami spreading the
f auty store upon tho grass, ate with a good :
appetite, refreshed ourselves from the lim
pid waters of the stream, and then each
siiiustd himself as he could.
"After resting awhile, some went in to!
oathe, and ono by one, as tho pleasure!
ecuied to increase, followed, until the whole
rty were iu the stream. This lasted for:
about hslf an hour, and most of us had re
turned to the shore and were dressing, when '
new feature was given to the scene by one '
of th9 number sayin; that ho was going to
"ash his ahirt. J
"Now mo: tof us had worn these peculiar
p-irtncnts twor three, and four weeks, and J
otne even longer, without their having been I
once washed, and there is o doubt of their!
Deeding it very much ; for mind you, tha
"in iu those days who could afford two;
niris whole shirts was a curiosity.
" The idea was therefore a good oue, and
"'By immediately began disrobing them
selves again, aud loon were busy as wash
oniea, rubbing nway like fulling-mills. As
the pioecs were finished, they were hung iu
the bud en the limbs of trees, or spread out
Oh the grass. Many were still engsged at
'heir washing j some wcro slrstched on the
ground in deep sleep; soma wrestling, some
jumping, aome collected in knots, telling sto
"cs, nearly all as naked as the day they
ere born in fact, as happy as fallows
could b with one shirt, and that drying in
'he itiu, and but a morsel ia tho knapsaok,
when we were startled jcrt, indeed, really
frightened by a volley of musketry, tlie
baling which whiffled by us, fortunately
only liiaking a few alight flesh wounds.
" The sound of muakctry, although it
surprised us at Grst, we were too mueb ao
customed to hearing, to retuaio loug under
a panic, to the next moment found each
man of us in possession of his musket, and
himself covered by a tree. We had not
long to wait beforo a large body of the
British broke through the underbrush, whic h
had before concealed ttaetu, and rushed with
fixed bayonets upon uj,
" Lut their progress was suddenly arrest
ed by our Ore, which laid a large number
of them dead btfure ui. We. had not time
to re-luad, when the enemy again charged
down upon u, and we were forced to give
way. We ran ome distance, andrre-load-Lutr,
stood our ground. I'd to this time we
had not thought of the condition wo were in,
in, wheu one of the tfficera, all at once,
cried out " 4
" ' Boys, will you lose your shirts?'
"Casting our ejes around quickly, we
gave a b-'jut
'"Now for our ahisU !" and rushed for
ward like so many naked devils.
" As soon as the Iinti-h came to our view,
pourt-d in a well-directed fire, and -immediately
charged with the bayonet. So
suddenly had this movement been made,
that, having supposed tbat we were still
running the other way, they wore complete
ly aurprised, and then caoie thei' turn to
run. After them we shouted olill, with our
new watch-word ' Shirts.'
" The officers of the enemy hnvicg nt
Irtiptb aucceerled iu gcuring the attention
of the men, wheeled them, aud fine as a
return fire, which killing, as we supposed,
rome of our party, we aj;ain took to our
heels, and the red coats taking up the cry
of' siiirt-s,' eaiie pell-mell after us. Again
we turned and charged the ISritiah ruiniin',
they in their turn, again charging upon u
each party shouting 'Shirt.",' until it finally
became a regular shirt-tail fight.
" At last, becoming !.i).n hht exasperated
with the game, and coi..-tai,t!y remluJiJ of
our shirts by tLe enemy screaming il iu vur
ears', and iceolkeling, u-o, that we wuuld
not cut a very ptetiy tiguru returning to
(Uirters tns rutottts, we uiaue one despe
rate charge, and Gna!!y succeeded in gain
ing tha day by driving the British from the
field.
' .Several of our party were wounded, but
noue killed. Not su with the British. The
ead were scattered all over the little green
space, and through the wood; and putting
n our garments, and leaving the dead to
be buried by their own people, we took the
circuitous route which we Lad avolJcJ ia
the mortitug thereby having been obliged
to fight a battle and reached the Camp
bout midnight, wher: w caused no little
merriment, and olttn afterwards, as we re

"Tlll'lf ON IT."
A good story has been told of a lisping
officer ia tbe V. S. Army, having been vic
timized by a brother othcer ( who was noted
for bis cool deliberation aud strong nerves,)
and his getting square w ith Liui iu the fal
lowing manner. The cou'i joker, a captain,
was !wa)s quizzing the lisping oflicc r, a
lieuteuant, for his i.ervousuf s.
" Why," said he one day in the presence
of bis company, " nervousness is all loii
sene ! I tell you, lieutenant, no brave man
will be nervous."'
" Well," inquired the li-ping friend, " how
would you do, thpose a tiieil with an inch
fiith e: thould drop ittL.lt' iu a wa'led an
gio in which you had taken theiter l'roui a
company of tharp tbojt rs, end where il
wath thrrtaiu t'jat if you put out our uolhu
you'd gl peppered V
" How," said the captain, winking at
the cirile, " wLy take il cool aud spit on
the fusee."
The party brtkc up, and all retired for
the night except the patrol. The next morn
ing a number of soldier! were assembled,
and ta'king in clusters, wheu along came
the lieutenant. Lazily opening his eyes he
remarked
" I want to try an exthperiment thith
morning, sud thee how cxthccdiuglr cool
you cau be."
Saying which, he walked deliberately up
to tliu fire burning on the hearth, and plac
ed in its hottest centre a powder canister,
and instantly retreated. There was but
one mode of tfgress from the quarter, and
that was upon the parade ground, the road
being built up for defence ; the oeeupant
took one glauce at the canister, compre
hended Lis situation, and in a moment dash
ed at the door, but it was fastened on the
outside.
" Charley, let me out if you love me '."
shouted the captain.
" Tbpit on the canithcr "' shouted he iu
return.
Not a'menicnt wasto be lost ; he had at
first snatched up a blauket to cover his
egress but now dropping it, he raised the
window, and-out bo bounded, sans eulotes,
sans every thing but a very short under
garment ; and thus, with hair almost upon
end, he dashed upon a fall parade ground.
The shout which hailed hi'n brought on'
tho whole barracks to see what was t ' e
matter, aud the dignified captain pulled
a tall sargcant in front of him to hide him
self. " Why didu't you tbpit on it?" inquired
the lieutenant.
" Bccau e there were no sharp shooters
in front to stop a retreat," answered the
captain.
" All I have got to they, then, ilh," said
the lieutenant," that you might have thafo
ly done it, for I thware there wathn't a
tliingls grain of powder in it 1"

Tho following hurrihlo story may be dif
ficult to believe, from its s'lnilarity to one
which has been going the round of the news
paper press for the pat few years, but it
is, nevertheless, true. We obtained the cir
cumstances from a friend-residing iu Allej-
hany, a female relative of whom arrived
from tho neighborhood on Saturday. On
Monday week, quite early iu the evening,
tho ' ous of a w idow lady named Mrs. Fow
ler, ..ituatcl ol miles thii aide of Froapor,
on the Alleghany river, in Westmorelaud
coul :v, was entered by a man whose face
was blackened, aud whose evident intention
was to rob her. She was a middle aged
lady, of good circumstances, owned a val
uable f.irm, and had a cou-iderahle amount
of money iu the house. Scarcely had tha
man got fairly intothe dwelling, when he was
seized by :ho throat, by a large dojt, which
killed Li in beforo he let go his hold. Tho
roh'Jer was discovered shortly afterwards,
and on his faec being washed, it was dis
covered that he was Mrs. Fowlcr'o own son-iu-law.
0.1 tho same day a gentleman named Ja
cob Byirly, livinjiutlie same county, about
lour miles from l'reeport, shot himself un
der tho following eircumstaiiees : His sou
bad for some time been talkiug of going
West, aud on the day mentioned, came to
the viine'.asiuii to start. Mr.Byerly was very
much opposed to the idea, and did all in bis
power to prevent his off-pring from going.
The old gentleman stood in the doorway of

gazed at him until he had vanished from
his silit, worn seiiblmj tears commenced
coursing dowu nis eie i k, and he seemed

Berl, who was standing beside her hus
band, told him there wis no use iu mourn
ing over it, ai it could not be reuicdiefd,
ami that he had bettei come into the
housu and partake of some food, lie went
in, but instead of doing as requested, be
took a rifle which was hanging against tho
wall, aud going outside of the house, he
blew his brains out. The sou had got but
a mile aud a half from home when the trag
ical occurrence took place, and on being in
fonnud of tho faet, he retraced his steps,
and found liis parent weltering iu his blood.
Mr. Byerly was about forty-five years of
aye, was possessed of a lars fortune aud
had a numerous family.

Tho Duke of Richmond, formerly the
celebrated Col. Lenox, was governor of
Canada in 1 SI 5-16. The late Horatio
GatcSj a native of .Massachusetts, was at
that time as eminent merchant in Moutreal,
and was known aud respected by thousands
in Canada?, and his nattve country. Mr.
Gates reports the following rejuarks aa hav
ing been made iu bi. prujuce by the Duke
of Richmond :
. " Tho Duke, a short time before his death,
in speaking of the government of U.
S., said : It was weak, irTfousistentj and j
bad, and could not long exi.' 'It will be
destroyedTIt ought no'anfl will not be
permuted to exist, fior jl'y and great are

and the sovereigns of Europe are aware of
it, ana they have determine upon its de
struction, and come to an understanding
upon this subject, and have decided ou the
,means to accomplish it ; and they will even
tually sucasaaaa by subversion rather thau
conquest.' ' As the low aud surplus popu
lation of the different nations of Europe
will be carried iuto that country.; it is aud
will be a receptacle for the bad and disaf
fected population if Jiurope, when they are
not wanted for soldiers, or to supply the
navies, and the European governments will
favor such a course.' ' This will create a
surplus and majority of. low population,
who are so very easily excited ; aud they
will bring with them their principles, and
in nine cases out of ten, adhere to their an
cient and former governments, laws, man
ners, and religion, aud will transmit them
to their posterity, aud in many cases propa
gate them among the natives.'
"Those men will become citizens, and.
by the constitution and laws, will be invest
ed with the riehtu.' scH.ajr. The different
grades of society willtjn he created by j
the elevation of a few aud by degrading i
many, and thus a r.?t..rji!ice)iM population J
will then be former' , easing different Ian- j
guarres,and of different religious and senti- j
menu, and make them act, think, and feel
alike, in political affairs, will be like mixing '
oil and water; hence discord, dissension,'
anarchy, and civil war will ensue, and soma,
popular individual will assume the govern-1
went and restore order, and the sovereigns !
of Europe, the immigrants, aud many of
the natives will sustain him.
" The Church of Rome has a design upon (
tnat country, ana it wui, in nine, ue ma
tablisbed relifctiou, and will aid in the de
struction of that republic. 1 have convers
ed with many of the sovereigns and princes
of Europe, and they have unanimously ex
pressed these opinions relative to the gov
ernment of the United States, and their de
termination to subvert it."
These remarks were made by the Duke
of Richmond, nearly forty years ago for
he died in 1 1 0 and the correctness of his
assertions has, since that time, been re
markably verified.
The low and surplus population of Eu
rope " hai been brought to this country, as
he predicted. It has become " a recepta
cle for the bad and disaffected populaliou
of Europe." These men have become citi
zens of this country, and have been invest-
cd with the rijiht of suffrage.
The question now arises shall this statu
of things continue ? Shall the I". S. re
liiaiu sjrrtr a receptacle for the ignorant,
vicious, aud disaffected population of Eu
rope ? Shall Europe be permitted for de
future to vomit forth upon our shores an
nually, fire hundred thousand paupers,
criminals, and v:;aCll-; of every grade
aud hue, to btcoiuc, after the lapse of live
years, Auieiicau citiaeim, American law
makers, and American office-holders ? This
ia the question which the Amerieau people
are now required to answer. We fay mim.
Because, if the settlement of this great
question be postpoued for five or ten years
longer, it iv ill be too late to auswer it, as it
should be answered. If postponed for a
few year.', the foreign party will become so
stroni; that it will bo impossible to effect
